祈求 神一如昔日施行拯救

可拉子孫的訓誨詩,交給詩班長。

44  神啊!你在古時,

在我們列祖的日子所作的事,

我們親耳聽見了,

我們的列祖也給我們述說過。

你曾親手把列國趕出去,

卻栽培了我們的列祖;

你曾苦待眾民,

卻使我們的列祖昌盛。

因為他們取得那地,不是靠自己的刀劍;

他們得勝,也不是靠自己的膀臂;

而是靠你的右手、你的膀臂和你臉上的光,

因為你喜悅他們。

 神啊!你是我的王;

求你出令,使雅各得勝。

我們靠著你,必打倒我們的敵人;

靠著你的名,必踐踏那些起來攻擊我們的。

因為我不是倚靠我的弓,

我的刀劍也不能使我得勝。

但你使我們勝過了我們的敵人,

使憎恨我們的人都羞愧。

我們整天因 神誇耀,

我們要永遠稱讚你的名。(細拉)

現在,你卻棄絕我們,使我們受辱,

不再和我們的軍隊一同出征。

10 你使我們在敵人面前轉身後退;

憎恨我們的人都任意搶掠。

11 你使我們像給人宰吃的羊,

把我們分散在列國中。

12 你把你的子民廉價出售;

他們的售價並沒有使你得到利益。

13 你使我們成為鄰居的羞辱,

成為我們四周的人譏笑和諷刺的對象。

14 你使我們在列國中成為話柄,

在萬民中使人搖頭。

15 我的羞辱整天在我面前,

我臉上的羞愧把我遮蓋了;

16 都因那辱罵和毀謗的人的聲音,

並因仇敵和報仇者的緣故。

17 這一切臨到我們身上,我們卻沒有忘記你,

也沒有違背你的約。

18 我們的心沒有退後,

我們的腳步也沒有偏離你的路。

19 但你竟在野狗之地把我們壓傷了,

又以死亡的陰影籠罩我們。

20 如果我們忘記了我們 神的名,

或是向別神伸手禱告;

21  神不會查究這事嗎?

因為他知道人心的隱祕。

22 為你的緣故,我們終日被置於死地;

人看我們如同將宰的羊。

23 主啊!求你醒來,為甚麼還睡著呢?

求你起來,不要永遠棄絕我們。

24 你為甚麼掩面,

忘記了我們的苦難和壓迫呢?

25 我們俯伏在塵土之上;

我們的身體緊貼地面。

26 求你起來幫助我們,

為了你慈愛的緣故救贖我們。

祈求上帝保護

可拉後裔作的訓誨詩,交給樂長。

44 上帝啊,
我們親耳聽過祖先講述你在古時,
在我們祖先時代的作為。
你親手趕出外族,
把我們的祖先安置在那裡;
你擊潰列邦,
使我們的祖先興旺發達。
他們不是靠自己的刀劍征服那裡,
不是靠自己的臂膀得勝,
而是靠你的權能、力量和恩惠,
因為你愛他們。
你是我的君王,我的上帝;
你讓雅各得勝。
我們靠你擊退敵人,
靠你的名踐踏仇敵。
我不倚靠我的弓,
我的劍不能使我得勝。
只有你使我們戰勝敵人,
使我們的仇敵蒙羞。
上帝啊,我們終日以你為榮,
我們永遠讚美你。(細拉)

現在你卻丟棄我們,
讓我們受辱,
不再幫我們的軍隊作戰。
10 你使我們在仇敵面前敗退,
遭敵人擄掠。
11 你使我們如被宰殺的羊,
將我們分散在列國。
12 你把我們廉價賣掉,
視我們一文不值。
13 你使我們遭四鄰辱罵,
被周圍人譏諷、嘲笑。
14 你使我們成為列國的笑柄,
人們對我們連連搖頭。
15 我終日受辱,滿面羞愧,
16 因為咒罵和譭謗我的人譏笑我,仇敵報復我。
17 雖然這一切臨到我們身上,
我們卻沒有忘記你,
也沒有違背你的約。
18 我們對你沒有異心,
也沒有偏離你的道路。
19 你在豺狼出沒的地方壓碎我們,
使死亡的陰影籠罩我們。
20 倘若我們忘記我們的上帝,
或舉手向外邦的神明禱告,
21 上帝怎會不知道呢?
祂洞悉人心中的秘密。
22 為了你,我們終日出生入死,
被視為待宰的羊。
23 主啊,求你醒來,
你為何沉睡?
求你起來,不要永遠丟棄我們。
24 你為何掩面不理我們,
不理會我們所受的苦難和壓迫?
25 我們仆倒在地,橫臥在塵土中。
26 求你起來幫助我們,
施慈愛救贖我們。

44 (For the one directing. Of the Bnei Korach. A maskil). We have heard with our oznayim, O Elohim, Avoteinu have told us, what po’al (work) Thou hast wrought in their days, in the times of old.

(3) How Thou didst drive out the Goyim with Thy Yad, but plantedst them; how Thou didst afflict the people, but for them Thou madest room.

(4) For they got not eretz in possession by their own cherev, neither did their own zero’a save them, but Thy Yamin (Right Hand), and Thine Zero’a, and the ohr (light) of Thy countenance, because Thou favored them.

(5) Thou art my Melech, O Elohim; command yeshu’ot (deliverances) for Ya’akov.

(6) Through Thee will we push down our enemies; through Thy Shem will we trample them under that rise up against us.

(7) For I will not trust in my keshet (bow), neither shall my cherev save me.

(8) But Thou hast saved us from tzareinu (our enemies), and hast put them to shame that hated us.

(9) In Elohim we boast kol hayom, and praise Thy Shem l’olam (forever). Selah.

(10) But Thou hast cast off, and disgraced us; and goest not forth with tzivoteinu (our armies).

10 (11) Thou makest us to turn back from before the tzar (enemy); and they which hate us have taken plunder for themselves.

11 (12) Thou hast given us up like tzon appointed for food; and hast scattered us among the Goyim.

12 (13) Thou sellest Amecha (Thy People) for a mere nothing, and art not enriched by their price.

13 (14) Thou makest us a cherpah (reproach) to our shchenim (neighbors), a scorn and a derision to them that are all around us.

14 (15) Thou makest us a mashal (byword) among the Goyim, a shaking of the rosh among the peoples.

15 (16) Kol hayom my dishonor is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

16 (17) At the voice of him that reproacheth and revileth; by reason of the oyev (enemy) and avenger.

17 (18) All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten Thee, neither have we dealt falsely in Thy Brit.

18 (19) Libenu (our heart) is not turned back, neither have our steps departed from Thy way;

19 (20) Though Thou hast crushed us in the makom (place, home, haunt) of jackals, and covered us with the tzalmavet (shadow of death).

20 (21) If we have forgotten the Shem of Eloheinu, or stretched out our palms [in worship] to an el zar (foreign g-d);

21 (22) Shall not Elohim search this out? For He knoweth the secrets of the lev.

22 (23) Yes, for Thy sake are we killed kol hayom; we are counted as tzon (sheep) for the tivchah (slaughter).

23 (24) Awake. Why sleepest Thou, Adonoi? Arise, cast us not off lanetzach (forever).

24 (25) Why hidest Thou Thy face, and forgettest our oni (misery, affliction) and our oppression?

25 (26) For our nefesh is bowed down to the aphar (dust); our beten (belly, body) has deveykus with the dirt.

26 (27) Arise for our help, and redeem us for the sake of Thy chesed.

44 We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst in their days, in the times of old.

How thou didst drive out the heathen with thy hand, and plantedst them; how thou didst afflict the people, and cast them out.

For they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto them.

Thou art my King, O God: command deliverances for Jacob.

Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.

In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

But thou hast cast off, and put us to shame; and goest not forth with our armies.

10 Thou makest us to turn back from the enemy: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.

11 Thou hast given us like sheep appointed for meat; and hast scattered us among the heathen.

12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and dost not increase thy wealth by their price.

13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.

14 Thou makest us a byword among the heathen, a shaking of the head among the people.

15 My confusion is continually before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and avenger.

17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.

18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;

19 Though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a strange god;

21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast us not off for ever.

24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

26 Arise for our help, and redeem us for thy mercies' sake.
